this is a decaf caturra from the cauca region of colombia, processed using the sugar cane method, which uses ethyl acetate derived from fermented sugar cane to remove caffeine. that process tends to preserve sweetness well, and it shows here, the cup is gentle and sweet with a clean finish. caturra is a compact, reliable varietal that produces consistent, mild cups. it suits a slower brew, so a pour over or french press will give you time to let the sweetness open up. a good option if you want something calm in the evening without sacrificing drinkability.

about building 3 coffee

...and that's the thing about coffee culture here. building 3 sits on north cascade, where the foothills start their gentle climb toward the mountains. you can feel the altitude working on your system, which makes finding a proper roaster all the more essential. they've carved out a reputation among people who know their beans from their blends. no pretense, just careful attention to what ends up in the cup. the regulars keep coming back because consistency matters when you're dealing with something as finicky as specialty coffee. mornings here have a different rhythm than what you'll find downtown. quieter, maybe. more focused on the actual coffee than the scene around it. their roasting approach leans toward bringing out what's already there in the beans rather than burying it under heavy manipulation. simple concept, harder execution than most places manage. the pour-over on a tuesday morning hits different when someone actually cares about water temperature.
